Now hang on. A committee is a group of people who, individually cannot achieve anything; as a group, they can deduce that nothing can be achieved.

What would be ideal is if we could establish a content-area (i.e., WikiProject) peer review as a prerequisite for the purposes of content (esp. for technical articles) then have it go to a "Brilliant Prose Committee" of qualified persons (e.g., people with actual degrees or a lot of experience) to evaluate the writing style, the readibility, the grammar, etc. But that borders on instruction creep and would be strongly opposed as it creates an elite class distinction and would knock out all the lovely people who derive meaning in life from firing torpedoes at FACs.

You have suggested a committee. Generaly that isn't a good sign.
It's easy to neutralise this suggestion: suggest a committee to discuss whether to have a committee.
